Electrode (Japanese: マルマインMarumain) is an Electric-type Ball Pokémon introduced in Generation I. It is known to drift on winds if it is bloated to bursting with stored electricity. It's nicked named the Exploding Pokémon. Like Voltorb, Electrode is very easily mistaken for a Poké Ball. It can easily explode when hit or touched.
